“That’s how he found out– from a tweet,” Kimmel marveled of Trump’s inability to say “you’re fired” to anyone in person, despite all the practice he got starring in NBC’s long-running Apprentice franchise.

“Donald Trump spent more time firing Lil Jon than he did the Secretary of State,” Kimmel marveled, referencing one of Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice sackings.

Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

Kimmel noted a report about Trump saying he came to his decision “all by himself….like a 5-year-old,” Kimmel observed. “Of course you did it by yourself, there’s no one else at the White House anymore! It’s just you and your Slovenian captive.”
